Dublin Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Since 2000, our Dublin pedestrian accident lawyers have represented injury victims and families who have lost their loved ones traveling on foot throughout Ohio. We understand that getting hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian can cause life-changing injuries for those who survived the crash. Tragically, hundreds of pedestrians do not.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there was an increase of over 24% in pedestrian accidents in Ohio last year alone. During that time, over 100 Ohio pedestrians were killed, and thousands more were seriously injured.

Our pedestrian accident attorneys help the injured and the families of those tragically killed in these preventable crashes pursue the liable drivers for their complete financial recovery.

Our law firm founder and managing attorney, Jami S. Oliver, has been voted 2024 Lawyer of the Year in Dublin, Ohio, for Product Liability and named to the Best Lawyers 2024 list in multiple practice areas. Allow our skilled team, led by one of Ohio’s best, to help you make informed decisions about your case and future, starting with a free consultation.

Pedestrian accidents and injuries are more common than you might think, and they often result from a driver’s carelessness or recklessness behind the wheel. Most pedestrian accidents in Dublin and throughout Ohio involve either negligent motorists or hazardous premises. If you or someone you love recently sustained injuries in a pedestrian accident, you could be eligible to file a claim in order to seek financial compensation. You should talk with an attorney about the details of your case and your options for filing a lawsuit. Contact our experienced Dublin pedestrian accident lawyer for more information.

Learning About Pedestrian Safety and Accidents in Dublin

Pedestrian accidents and injuries occur with much more frequency than many people expect. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were more than 7,000 pedestrian deaths in 2020 and about 104,000 nonfatal pedestrian accident injuries that required treatment in emergency departments. What else do you need to know about pedestrian accidents and injuries in Ohio? Consider some of the following facts and figures from the CDC:

  • Alcohol use is a common causal factor in pedestrian accidents, including alcohol consumption by motorists and pedestrians alike;
  • Approximately half of all pedestrian accidents that result in pedestrian fatalities are identified as alcohol-related crashes;
  • Speeding is a common cause of pedestrian accidents, and higher vehicle speeds increase the likelihood of a collision with a pedestrian and the severity of pedestrian injuries in the event of an accident;
  • Majority of pedestrian fatalities happen in urban areas;
  • Most pedestrian accident deaths occur in areas of the road other than intersections;
  • Majority of deadly pedestrian accidents occur at night (after dark);
  • Some pedestrians are at increased risk of serious pedestrian accident injuries, including older adults and young children;
  • Adults who are aged 65 and older only account for about 17 percent of the population but account for approximately 20 percent of all reported pedestrian deaths;
  • Approximately 20 percent of kids aged 14 and younger who are killed in traffic collisions are pedestrians; and
  • Pedestrians can take steps to avoid collisions with motor vehicles by increasing their visibility, only crossing at crosswalks or designated intersections, avoiding distractions while walking, and avoiding alcohol and drugs.

How Can The Dublin Pedestrian Accident Attorneys at Oliver Law Office Help With My Case?

At Oliver Law Office, our pedestrian accident and injury attorneys learn everything there is to know about your claim during a free consultation. This allows us to adequately assess your recovery needs and partner with you right away if you have a qualifying personal injury or wrongful death claim.

Once we are your legal partners, we will thoroughly investigate the accident, collecting evidence, including witness statements, accident reports, and any available surveillance footage that helps build a strong case by establishing liability and demonstrating negligence.
We will route all insurance company communication through our offices so you can focus on your physical and emotional recovery while we outline your financial recovery needs and present your claim demands to the liable party’s insurance carrier.
Our skilled Dublin pedestrian accident lawyers understand the tactics used by insurers to minimize payouts and can work to ensure that you receive fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Because of the catastrophic nature of the injuries associated with these crashes, pedestrian accident victims often incur extensive damages. We will outline your claim to ensure that no detail is left to chance during our negotiation.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, attorneys can represent you in court. We will present your case, argue, and navigate the legal proceedings precisely to achieve the best outcome for your circumstances.

Legal processes can be complex, and our dedicated attorneys can guide you through each step to ensure that all deadlines are met, paperwork is filed correctly, and you are informed about the progress of your case. Contact us today to learn more.

Can I Pursue a Claim If My Loved One Was Killed in an Ohio Pedestrian Accident?

You may have the legal right to pursue a wrongful death claim if your loved one was killed in an pedestrian accident. Wrongful death claims are a type of civil action that allows certain family members to seek compensation for the death of a loved one caused by someone else’s negligence or intentional actions.
The personal representative of the deceased person’s estate may bring a wrongful death action on behalf of the estate and the surviving family members.

A wrongful death claim in a pedestrian accident is based on the negligence of another party, including a driver, property owner, or entity responsible for maintaining safe conditions. Our skilled pedestrian accident attorneys can help you determine your eligibility to file a wrongful death claim to seek compensation and justice for the loss of your loved one. Contact us today to learn more.

Distracted Walking and Comparative Fault in Dublin, OH

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) emphasizes that distracted walking — texting or listening to music while walking, for example — can mean that a pedestrian is also partially at fault for an accident.

Ohio uses a modified comparative fault rule, which means that a plaintiff can recover damages if the plaintiff is not 51% or more at fault. When a plaintiff is less than 51% at fault in Ohio, they can recover damages, but their portion of fault will reduce the damages award.

If you believe you were partially to blame for a pedestrian accident in which you were injured, you may still be eligible to obtain compensation. Contact us today to learn more.
